As mentioned in other threads...
The ol' index looks pretty low for the upcoming season.

Could be a concern after a few years of having Looch stare guys down.
Never advocated for retaining him specifically, but there is a hole that hasn't been filled so far.

Who does the team have that can drop the gloves if needed?
Likely Dennis Gilbert, but he's not even a regular in the lineup with Kylington's return.

Who can the team target to acquire to increase overall toughness?
Should they? Could we see some PTOs? Kind of hard to imagine this given the recent talk of youth infusion.

The designated face-puncher is a thing of the past, but intimidation and contact are still very much in the mix.

I'm guessing Conroy realizes this, but haven't seen any moves made that help.
